What owners wrote
Was pulling into a parking lane, at a shopping center with my foot on the brake, ready to put the vehicle in park, when the car suddenly felt as if it locked down brakes failed and the engine accelerated out of my control head on into another vehicle parked across a divider. I had no control of steering or brakes .. The car flashed a power steering failure.. Airbags never deployed, and my vehicle sustained over $8,000 in damages. I had asked for data report that porsche extracted from my car with no response.
The diagnostic shows that the sensor for the driver-side airbag is indicating low ohms (1.3) compared to standard ohm of 3+ that is required for the airbag to deploy. This could cause the airbag to now deploy as intended during an accident.
